I just tried googling the site "dqhongyi.leaper.ltd" and I came across dozens of reports about the contained Trojan on the final link. So the rumors weren't lying.

hello
just curious :
how many of you windows 7 users have a datastore.edb located inside this folder
C:\Users\<yourusername>\AppData\Local\VirtualStore\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore

[andreasaspenberg575]

i do not have it at the very least. there is no files within my virtualstore folder, only folders and that is program files (x86)\dosbox.0.74. there is nothing inside it however.

hello

thx @andreasaspenberg575 , because this file is 1.5go xd
and it has been created in 2022 ... when the original datastore.edb is somewhere else with around the same weight but both files are differents ... not the same sha-1 and those in this folder does not have reccord inside past 2022 ( around 15 tables inside ...)
original place for this is
C:\Windows\SoftwareDistribution\DataStore

[andreasaspenberg575]

seems that you can safely delete it. it is just a log file. i checked my other windows 7 pc too and it is not there either.

hello
like allways, ask them nicely to put the last working release on beta branch as it cost them nothing to do that , except a lit of their time ....
these kind of little dev studio most of the time, think it's easier to follow the trend when , in fact, it's not because using a new tool at it full potential need knowledge ... and a little dev studio does not have that sadly ...
